China is playing the long game - control of natural resources, fishing and shipping in the South China Sea:

• 11 billion barrels of oil
• 190 trillion cubic feet of natural gas deposits
• fisheries that account for 10% of the global total
• a trade route $5.3 trillion worth of goods moves through the sea every year

Having Cambodia's loyalty helps.
